i have a standard poodle and the breeder recommended this comb. She had dozens of combs, but said to get this one. It is made well and does a fine job, especially if there are any knots in my dog’s hair. I believe in buying one high-quality item and not several lesser quality items. Do not hesitate, this comb is worth it.

We have a Standard Poodle. This comb is perfect for working through the hair and making him look like a beautiful ball of cotton 🙂 I am really impressed by how nice the comb is to grip. It’s really solid and sturdy. The comfort of the handle is really important, being that it takes a while to work your way through the masses of hair that a large, fluffy dog has! It’s teeth aren’t so long that it’s hard to handle, nor are they so short that it is difficult to reach the base of the hair. And the teeth on the thing are thick and sturdy, so they won’t be bending out of shape. I order a lot of things through Amazon, but never leave personal feedback. I am so impressed with this comb, that I had to leave a note. I am ordering another this week!

Since growing my hair out, I’ve been on the hunt for a “professional” curling iron. The “drugstore” variety do not heat sufficiently for my hair texture; therefore, they are rather useless. I’ve already wasted money trying them out – NEVER again! Hot Tools Professional Model 2102 ceramic titanium 1-1/2 inch barrel is amazing – I am so happy with its quality and super heat output. With 85 watts of variable temperature, ranging from 280°F to 430°F it has plenty of heat to curl all hair textures, including coarse, thick straight hair, like mine. I actually have the temperature control only set half-way, which already produces plenty of heat. I’m happy to discover that the ceramic titanium barrel prevents hair damage such as burning or drying-out, especially when using higher heat. The clamp spring is heavy-duty (very important), giving a nice tight clamp when winding the hair around the barrel. The soft-grip handle is 7-inches long – very comfortable with a perfectly designed 2-inch long x 1/2-inch wide thumb depressor. There is a 1-1/2 inch long safety cool-tip (an absolute necessity) at the end of a 7-inch long barrel, which helps prevent burns and aides when manipulating the hair around the barrel. The 8-foot round swivel cord is a perfect length eliminating unnecessary frustration with having too short of a cord. Hot Tools certainly makes outstanding products for home use and this curling iron proves it – although it may cost a bit more than other types, it’s worth every penny! Ordering through Amazon was so conveniently easy, their price is comparable to private shops and receiving the order is almost instant.

I purchased this curling iron because it features the ceramic titanium. I was actually willing to pay a bit more for a nice curling iron that would be gentle on my damaged hair (coloring and blow drying), so I was happy with the price. I’ve been using it for a month now, and it does a great job on my hair. Unlike other curling irons, this one doesn’t snag or pull my hair as it clamps down. It creates nice larger curls/waves without making ‘curling iron kinks’ in your hair. I would definitely recommend this curling iron.
